What kind of loads would you be trying to haul? I mean the ABS and brakes on the Prius is pretty phenomenal. It does all the work for you. Just go brake check yourself on an empty road one night and press the pedal as hard and as fast as you can from say 60 mph. It really gets down. Pretty similar to the Mustang when it was on 235 mm tires and that car was also rated to tow 1000lb.
